This morning we set out very early from Kathmandu in a bus for the 4 hour
drive to the last Nepal town of Kodari at 1,770 metres/5,800 feet. We
cleared Nepalese customs and immigration, then hired local porters and
vehicles to carry our equipment and gear across the Bota Kosi River on the
Friendship Bridge, to Zhangmu, the gateway town in Tibet. All members are
feeling well and excited the expedition is underway!
